The Impact of Clear-Cutting on the Volume and Chemistry of Water at a Sandy Nutrient-Poor Pine Site

Original language description

Clear-cutting removes a stand cover suddenly, thus impacting soil-surface conditions by the expected increase in the humus breakdown rate, due to the addition of more precipitation and solar radiation. The impacts of removing a forest were studied at a site with deep sandy soils dominated by Scots pine, where three treatments, including a stand left on site, whole-tree harvesting treatment, and stem-only harvesting treatment, were established. Clear-cut precipitation and sub-canopy throughfall were measured. The non-replicated treatments were equipped with lysimeters at depths of −10 cm and −70 cm and in addition, three exploratory wells were drilled to sample groundwater in each of the treatments. The volume and chemistry of the water samples were periodically analyzed. The mean throughfall was 84% of open-area precipitation and the pH of the water penetrating the canopy was significantly lower overall, although the subcanopy samples were only slightly more acidic. Significant differences among the treatments were shown in throughfall (total organic carbon, TOC), shallow subsurface water (pH, TOC, NO3−), subsurface water at the 70-cm depth (NO3−) and also groundwater (pH, TOC, NO3−), where some of the differences had been observed before the stand parts were clear-cut. Limits for drinking water were exceeded in groundwater pH, as the values from both clear-cut sites fell below pH 6.5 following clear-cutting. TOC greater than 5 mg·L−1 was found in the Q1-2020 samples, whereas groundwater nitrate remained low, even though the three wells differed significantly from each other. Due to the non-replicated design of the experiment, generalization of the outcomes is a matter of further research.
